Chapter 13: Fire

In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, Wei Chengmo is busy, and the planting of 2,400 acres of alfalfa is in full swing.

A large number of alfalfa seeds were soaked and sown, and the number of seeds reached 6,000 catties, while the alfalfa seeds beaten last autumn barely reached 6,000 catties, and one mu of alfalfa hit 10 catties of alfalfa seeds, which required a lot of labor.

The price of a pound of alfalfa seeds on the market is as high as 18 yuan, for the future forage planting, and in order to save costs, Wei Chengmo began to prepare very early.

3,000 acres of land, Wei Chengmo and the village re-signed the contract, soft grinding and hard bubbles, and set the price at 30 yuan per mu per year.

Since then, at the end of each year, Wei Chengmo has to pay the village a contract fee of 90,000 yuan.

On the night of March 20, the moon was covered by dark clouds, Wei Chengmo, who had worked hard all day, went home early to rest, Wang Xiuhe packed up the needlework for sewing clothes, and hugged his daughter to turn off the lights and sleep.

In the middle of the night, Wei Chengmo's mobile phone made a piercing sound, he was dazed, pressed the answer button, and an anxious and irritable voice came out of the earpiece.

"Become a demon, quick, fast, it's on fire, the hay is on fire......"

Wei Chengmo's sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and he broke out in a cold sweat, "I'll come right away......"

At this time, the sound of electricity came from the loudspeaker in the village, and then the voice of the village chief came out, "Attention everyone, the old men of all families get up, bring buckets, and go to the cattle farm by the river to put out the fire, I repeat it......"

For a while, the whole village barked incessantly, and the electric lights of each house began to turn on.

Wei Chengmo put on his clothes and rushed out of the door, and when he saw the light in his mother's room in the East House turned on, he shouted, "Mom, look at Xiaoxiao, lock the door, lock the door, close the window, strangers tell don't open the door, wait for me to come back......"

Wang Xiuhe came out of the door, looked at the cattle farm that burned half the sky in the west, and shouted with a crying voice, "If you can't save it, don't save it, don't have an accident......

"Got it......" Wei Chengmo's voice came from afar.

The wind whistled in his ears, and Wei Chengmo ran towards the cattle farm like Hot Wheels.

The flames in the distance were getting higher and higher, and the smoke was billowing and the flames were monstrous.

Before approaching the cattle farm, a heat wave rushed in, Wei Zhankui, Lao Uncle Liu, Li Baoyi, and Wei Zhong were holding two water pipes, standing on the edge of the cowshed and watering the haystack not far away.

"Fifth uncle, what's the matter?" Wei Chengmo's roar was like thunder.

Wei Zhankui didn't shout back, "The dog was overturned, artificial...... 110 and 119 have been beaten. ”

Li Baoyi and Wei Zhong set up a water gun and shouted loudly, "Become a demon, the haystack is too big, too high, our water pump pressure is not enough, and the fire can't be suppressed." ”

Old Uncle Liu was drenched, "Fortunately, I found it early, the feed shed and cowshed are fine, and this forage is estimated to be burned out......"

Wei Zhong said angrily, "The four haystacks, together with the purchased straw, have 120 tons. ”

Wei Chengmo looked at the flames that were dozens of feet high, and his eyes became cold, as if he had returned to the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang......

The number of people around became larger, and the village chief began to organize the men of the village to put out the fire, but the fire was too big, and there was nothing that could be done without a high-pressure water cannon at this time.

A heavy big hand pressed on Wei Chengmo's shoulder, "Chengmo, bring me the mobile phone, and the fifth grandfather will make a call." ”

Wei Chengmo shuddered, sobered up from his anger, took out the phone and handed it over.

Wei Hong pressed a set of numbers, waited for the other party to connect, and about 40 seconds later, the phone was connected.

A deep voice came, "Who?" ”

Wei Hong asked calmly, "Imam Ma, did your little sixth master send someone to burn my grandson's forage?" ”

"Wei Hong? Set? Scold...... You shouldn't make this call, my people in Chenjiagou have always been upright and will not act as villains. ”

There was a beep, beep, beep sound from the phone, and the phone was hung up.

Wei Hong shook his head at Wei Chengmo, "Do you think about it, have you provoked anyone during this period of time?" ”

"Have you provoked someone to win by yourself?" One image after another crossed Wei Chengmo's mind, "That middle-aged person from the Quality Supervision Bureau? Junior high school classmate Wang Shixiong? It's not like ......

It doesn't seem to have offended anyone.

There is no deep hatred, how can you do such a thing as arson? ”

Wei Chengmo told the fifth grandfather his thoughts, Wei Hong smiled, "Anything is possible, there are many people with small bellies and chicken intestines in this world......

Half an hour later, the police car of the township police station came with a siren, and three policemen came in a police car, and as soon as they came, they took Uncle Liu, who was on night duty, to question and record a statement.

An hour and a half later, the fire engine came, and the two fire trucks and the firefighters did not say much and directly began to extinguish the fire......

The director of the police station was a strong man in his 30s, he found Wei Chengmo and asked, "Are you Wei Chengmo?" Is this your fodder? ”

Wei Chengmo looked at the middle-aged man in a police uniform and nodded, "Yes?" ”

A middle-aged policeman on the side interjected, "Director Hu, if you have something to ask, how can you play around here?" ”

Director Hu looked over suspiciously, "Director Xue, such a big fire, you let me take the master's house away?" ”

Wei Chengmo stared at the middle-aged policeman with some anger, "You are the instructor of the police station?" The scene of the first crime is here, and if you don't investigate the case, you want to take me to the police station? ”

Wei Chengmo's voice was a little loud, and all the surrounding villagers looked over, and some young people directly surrounded him.

Instructor Xue looked at the crowd and said, "It's okay, everyone hurry up and put out the fire, let's find Wei Chengmo to understand the situation." ”

Then he lowered his voice to the young director and said, "Director Hu, this is what the deputy director of the county bureau means, you don't understand, right?" ”

Director Hu's expression was stunned, "Director Xue, why did the deputy bureau know about this matter so quickly?" Won't it be? ”

"Don't guess, don't think about it, the nephew of Lao Wang of the Quality Supervision Bureau took someone to set the fire, and the person was now taken to the Fang Bureau's house by Lao Wang, I heard that he was frightened, and he brought gasoline, and almost burned himself."

"Want to be private? 100

Many tons of dried alfalfa, this is not a decimal number, not to mention that there are 50 cows without anything to eat, this loss is big, that kid is enough to sentence......"

Director Xue was fat and fat, and his face was flushed, "What do you mean?" ”

Director Hu turned around and pointed to the people around him who were taking pictures with their mobile phones and said, "Director Xue, now is the information society, we can't afford to play, we can't afford to be picked up in a tiger skin, what does Deputy Bureau Fang want to do, I don't dare to participate, I don't know this news." ”

Instructor Xue looked at the crowd around him, took out his mobile phone and walked to the side, "Don't surround it, it's all scattered, it's important to fight the fire, the case is a little complicated, we have to report to the county bureau." ”

Wei Chengmo's mind was a little messy at this time, his mind was fire, seeing that his hundreds of tons of forage had been devoured, staring at the water gun in the hands of the firefighters, he was only anxious in his heart.

snatched the bucket in a person's hand and rushed directly into the sea of fire......

In a residential building in the county seat, three men are sitting in the living room, one of the young men sitting on the sofa is Wang Shixiong, and next to him is Wang Jinbo of the Quality Supervision Bureau, who is also Wang Shixiong's father.

Opposite the two sat a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a square mouth, and at this time, the phone in the middle-aged man's hand rang, and he hurriedly picked it up.

"I'm Fang Tao."

"Director Fang, things have gotten bigger, many people have taken videos and sent them out, more than 100 tons of forage, directly burning the sky, I'm afraid I will see the newspaper tomorrow."

"yes, I see."

"Fang Bureau, Wei Chengmo is still ......"

"If you have a long brain, can you still mess around at this time?

That Wei Chengmo didn't touch him, stabilized his emotions, and said that the case was under investigation. ”

After hanging up the phone, Deputy Director Fang stood up and walked back and forth in the living room, "Lao Wang, I didn't say you, why is your son so loser?" Do you know how much hay he burned? More than 100 tons! It's all hay, think about it, how big is that? ”

Fang Tao stopped slightly, stared at Wang Jinbo and said, "Old Wang, when you came to me, we didn't say that we were going to kill people and set fires, for a few alfalfa, and then put yourself in, do you think it's worth it?"

Wang Jinbo's face turned pale when he heard this, and he raised his hand to slap his son, "I can't hold my breath and lose my family."

Looking up at Fang Tao, he said anxiously, "Old Fang, what now?" I can't just watch Se-woong go to prison, then I won't be able to go to university, you can't die without help......"

Wang Shixiong covered his face and muttered, "I just burned a bunch of grass!" Take that much to burn? Why don't you give me some money and I'll hide for a while? ”

Fang Tao glared at him, "There is surveillance everywhere, this case is very easy to investigate, there are ruts on the dirt road, and then adjust the surveillance videos of various roads, you can be found out in one day." Besides, how long can you hide? Can you still run away if you run away?

What does a student do when he doesn't study well in school......

Lao Wang, let's break the fortune and avoid disasters, bring 500,000 yuan, send it over overnight, let Shixiong apologize to that kid, think of an excuse, they still have a little bit of classmates, there should be no problem. ”

In Weijia Village, the platoon commander of the firefighters was reporting loudly with his mobile phone, "Captain, the fire is too big, more than 100 tons of hay, four haystacks dozens of meters high, all on fire, please send a car to support ......."

At this time, Wei Chengmo's clothes were burned in many places, his face was pitch black, his hair was curled with fever, his eyes were red, and he found the village chief with a bucket all the way.

coughed continuously for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "Uncle Seven, I have to find someone to prepare a meal, and I will serve food to everyone and the firefighters at dawn, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger......

”。

Wei Chengmo felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his voice was a little choked......

The three policemen at the police station, except for the instructor who was anxiously circling around, and the director took another policeman to follow the villagers to extinguish the fire, and they were all dressed in black police uniforms, and they couldn't see the policemen......
